There is so much discussion in forming a base line on Sen. McCain, of his conduct as a POW that often the pilot is overlooked for the POW.
John McCain's selection of Gov. Palin is the sure hand of a trained risk-taker. One that can see over the horizon as he comes in "unannounced and unexpected."
We cannot assess this man without always thinking that this is one that has trained, been in explosions, crashed and then gotten back into another cockpit. He is first and foremost a naval aviator.
For the election, the Democrats anticipated an opponent that they would link to George Bush like a helix. They might have, had they some sincere knowledge of military arts predicted that Sen. McCain would fly a course that did not vector back to the current occupant at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
The antic Greek counsel, "Know thy enemy" is apparently as foreign to the Obama camp and Democrat leadership as their understanding of small town America and military culture.
